850 Enrollment
In Archer School
Expected in Fall
Five Outside Rooms
Needed for Classes;
State to Make Survey
Enrollment In th<> ' Archer st.

Bun, Principal Clayton \Villiani-son
prtMiicled today.
To inept this stiuiatioM, ho said,
room must bo round to house five
classes outside Un- main school.
This is due to the fact that when
the three fifth year classes trans-ferred
to i.he Columbus are. school
return to Archer st. lor the sixth
year at the end of the present
school year, all the rooms in the
Columbus ave. building will be
needed lor children living in its
own district and there will be no
spare to house the overflow from
Archer st. during the school year
1!M9-f>u, in that building
There are now I5u pupils in five
first year classes at Archer st.
which means thai next September
the present four second year class-es
will be increased to five, and
that there will be four.third year
classes, three 1'ourth year, three
fifth'year, where there is none now,
due to the arrangement with the
Columbus ave. school and three
sixth year.
Survey To Be Made
Hope has been expressed in some
quarters that some way will be
round to handle the sintation by
locating some of the classes in the
new Seaman ave. school which will
be ready lor occupancy in Septem-ber,
and naturally will not be filled
to capacity. Otherwise the only
solution will be fit her the organi-zation
of large size classes or re-sorting
to part-time which the
school authorities hope to avoid.
With the hope of finding I he
answer to its problems, the Board
of Kd unit Ion has called on the
State Kducat ion Department to
make a study and recommend plans
for meeting Freeport's School
needs. Dr. Wilson, who is in
charge, recently met in the Colum-bus
ave. school with Superintend-ent
John W. Dodd, Harold E. Pear-son,
a member of the Board or
Kduoation, and the principals to
plan for such a survey. The sur-vey

The election will take plan1
at the January meeting which will
be in Hiarge of first voters.
Fi! 'ly -right children, including
eleven guests, received gifts from
Santa Claus impersonated by Wil-liam
Wolff. The guesls received
wearing apparel, selected by Mrs.
IJirgenihal and Mrs. Furman, candy
and toys, while the parents of the
oilier children gave them various
presents.
M-ayor Cyril C._Ryan and Trus-tees
Leonard D. n. Smith and Rob-ert

On the committee of arrange-ments
were Mr. and Mrs. Marshall.
Mr. and Mrs. Hirgenthal, Mr. and

Ic I*Inn \ii. -1. as proposal Iiv a civic-iMimmitlre,
for the Cohen plan for olim-ule
crossings in Krecpnrt \vinilil eventu-ally
cost the village $1.000.00 foe
necessary parking fields and in
arresting the development of Kast
Sunrise Highway in the opinion ot
Harry A. Strecker, jr.. consul ling
engineer who has pla\ed an import-ant
par] in grade "limin:ition pro-jects
elsewhere in New York state
and other parts of the country.
Mr. Stceckec's opinion is in
answer to one of mum-cons ques-tions
submitted t o . h im concerning
Plan No. 3 and the Cohen plan by
pecsons seeking informal ion on the
advantages of both plans.
The question was:
"What will be the effects on the
village if the elimination Is carried
out in acrordam;e with the Cohen
plan?"
"The Cohen plan." bis reply reads,
"provides for packing between Hen-son
pi. and Kong Head) ave., lor a
total of 2!)2 cars. In Ibe future if
any additional parking is needed in
this area, the entire cost will be
on the village. Furthermore if the
freigbi station Is re-established in
its present location, it is my op.in.:
ion that the Sunrise Highway front-age
I com Henry st. to the Kast end
of the village will be greatly retard-ed.
Sees Tremendous Loss
"The cost lo die village for pro-viding
the additional parking space
in the fU'ture will run into many
hundreds of thousands of dollars
The loss in the potential rise in
the accessed valuation by pceclaid-ing
the proper use ol Kast Sunrise
highway will result in losses to the
village of enormous amounts. It
my opinion, a million dollars would
be -a conservative estimate."
Other questions submitted to Mr.
Strecker and his answers are as
follows;
Q. How many cars can be pjick-ed
from Main to drove si; on tin
posed plan? A. 129 cars.
Q. How many cars can be pack-el
between Main and drove sis.
under the Cohen plan? A. li! cars.
